If $300 for a Boox Palma or $200++ for a Hisense seem too much for distractionfree reading, maybe this $90 ereader is for you. This Moaan Inkpalm 5 Mini review also covers using Kindle and Libby, and apps like KOReader — to show you can meet your reading and productivity goals with an eink screen that actually fits in your pocket.

▬▬▬ Extra InkPalm tips ▬▬▬
Note that I have an InkPalm MINI/32GB. There is also an InkPalm PRO, which has 64GB storage, but is the same specs otherwise. The InkPalm PLUS (orange back), on the other hand, is newer, bigger and has more RAM, and is more expensive.

► My device came already in English, and with Kindle and Amazon App Store already installed. All I had to do was log into the Amazon App Store app, no rooting or command line required. This might vary depending on vendor.

► To easily install Unlauncher, KOReader, EInkBro, Markor: Download the Fdroid .apk at https://fdroid.org and put the apk file in your Inkpalm. Then simply open the apk file on the Inkpalm to install it*. You can then use the Fdroid app store to browse and install the other apps.

(*The same process, to download the apk and then open ondevice, can be followed to install any apps not on Fdroid.)

► If you're looking for an ebook font that's better than the default options, my favorite free one is Literata: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Lit...

► I did disable a bunch of unused stock apps and services on the Inkpalm, but this is entirely at your preference (and risk).
I used the list/guide here on GitHub (section 5): https://github.com/philips/inkpalm5... and the list on this Reddit post:   / inkpalm_5_apps
